I'm currently on horiz/vert push/pull I made few months ago. Now I want to modify it a bit, but I'm not sure is this good enough so I need help. This is my current program. I want to make it more dynamic so this is what I came up with. I also want to know what could be better so its the main reason I made this thread. I workout at home so I'm kinda limited with some exercises. Got the idea from this (Bob's post) thread. I tried to get 1 pull for 1 push. I'm aware that I have more horizontal motion exer. than vertical ones.

Well, I thought going on 5x5 on main exercises like squats and deadlift, and 3x5 on presses (bench,overhead). Others would be 3x8, and that would make around 20 sets per training. I'm going more for muscle (fit), then strength by using 5x5 on main.

Sets of 5 are good for strength training, whether your training for strength, sports performance or general fitness. Higher reps (8-12) are generally better if building muscle mass is your primary goal.

Recently I got my hand on complete core fitness by mike robertson. I'm in anterior tilt and I want to get rid of it. I already have 2 core days on lower days but i want to add 2 more. Is it okay if I put them on rest days. I kinda dont want to do core on upper days cause my training will last too long. I'm going to do his routines so if somebody wants I can post them.

I'm guessing but for APT, you're likely working on glutes and abs. The lower body days are ideal to add on glute work and likely that's enough. You need some recovery time so I wouldn't mess with the rest days. Adding in some ab work might be OK but personally, I know my bench sucks even more than normal when my abs are aching.

That's what I thought. Then I'll just add two motions (anti-ext,anti lat-flex,anti-rot, hip flex with neut. spine) in one day and everything should be covered. While we're are on APT, are there some stretches to do cause i'm not really flexible.

Yes, stretch the hip flexors. The samson stretch is a good one. Google it. There's a million examples since Crossfit uses it.
